The Queen's Back

Chapter 144 Jane felt guilty for chasing Jeremy out. However, she had a strong hunch that Jeremy poisoned her husband. She wouldn't be this sad if that didn't happen.

If not for Mona and Albert accompanying her during this tough time, she did not know if she would have been able to survive. She didn't even know if her ambition would persist if it weren't for them.

"Mom, I've been a part of the Clem Family since I married Emily. It's been more than 20 years. The Clem family has long been my home. But now that you're chasingout, where will stay?" Jeremy asked sincerely.

Jeremy had failed to run for chairman of Clem Group, and without the Clem Family's support, there would be no place for him in Nathontown. He had been living in the city for years. He was careful and compromised because he couldn't afford to be homeless. "Don't drag Emily into this. Do you think Bernard and I would allow you to get married if I knew you were getting married by agreement? You will never have the chance to enter our family grounds from now on!" Jane glanced at him, then Mona beside her. She doubted Jeremy was her real father. After Jane finished speaking, Mona helped her leave the room with Maxwell. Jane had said everything that needed to be said. Regarding who poisoned Bernard, she would send someone to investigate..

Jeremy was left alone in the conference room, not knowing what to do. He was finished and had nothing left. At that moment, the phone on his desk vibrated a few times. However, Jeremy didn't budge. It was as if he could not hear it and did not answer it.

A few minutes later, his phone rang again. Jeremy felt no peace in his ears. So, he glanced at the caller's name. It was Beatrice. After thinking briefly, he picked it up impatiently. Beatrice's cheerful tone cfrom the other end. "Jeremy, has the meeting over?" Even through the phone, Jeremy could feel Beatrice's excitement.

"Dad, how was it?" Barbara added. Her tone was filled with anticipation.

Meanwhile, Jeremy was resentful. Thanks to Barbara and Beatrice's influence, he decided to poison Bernard. "How was it? Why are you still asking? I failed. Even Jane chasedout of the family. I have nothing now!" Jeremy gritted his teeth and held the phone tightly. If he were strong enough, the phone would break within seconds.

When Beatrice and Barbara heard Jeremy's answer, their faces changed. They could not maintain the smile on their faces.

"What? How can you fail? Also, did you say Jane chased you out? Isn't she currently in Horieta?" Beatrice asked in disbelief. She thought this plan was foolproof.

Bernard was poisoned, seriously ill, and unconscious. Jane must have been focused on accompanying him. Additionally, Mona and Albert were loyal to their family. If they knew Bernard had been poisoned, they wouldn't bother the company, even for a second. Jeremy's meeting should have gone smoothly, especially with the connections he had made in the company over the years. Beatrice didn't know why Jane suddenly returned to the country "How would I know? Jane suddenly appeared at the meeting, and now Maxwell becomes the chairman. Fortunately, it's only temporary." Jeremy said, seemingly comforting himself. However, Jane had already chased him out of her family. He had no chance of returning. "This, how could this be? Where are you now? Cback and tellthe details." Beatrice suppressed the disappointment in her heart. She had prepared for Jeremy's success and even cooked a table full of delicious food. But unfortunately, reality hit.

At that moment, Barbara also received a message from Gordon: [Your father failed. This is great. Clent Group fell to Maxwell's hands, and you lose everything.] 1/2 2/2 1 A 82% Chapter 144 +5 Barbara saw it and did not want to reply. This was not what she wanted to see either. However, since Clem Group and Carter Group were in Maxwell's hands, she would win big if she could win his heart.

Barbara thought of the twhen Mona was not in Nathontown She had "coincidentally" met Maxwell twice at the ball. However, when he saw her, he treated her like a stranger. He did not even give her any face when she took the initiative to propose a toast. Barbara knew she had to think of a way. After Jane gave Clem Group, she did not plan to meet the rest of the family. She planned to return to Horieta to accompany Bernard.

"Mona, your grandfather is fine now. Usually, he needs a caregiver, but I can handle it alone now. You don't have to go back. Stay in Nathontown. However, you can always fly to Horieta when you have time," Jane said as she held Mona's hand. She knew Mona had her life to live and didn't want to drag her down "Grandma, are you sure you can look after Grandpa alone overseas?" Mona asked worriedly.

"I won't be alone, Silly. Albert will soon return from his military duty. Also, isn't there still Haley? With her around, I won't feel so lonely," Jane said with a smile.

"Alright, but callif you need anything. Don't worry, I won't be troubled." Mona hugged Jane. Her tone was filled with reluctance.

"That's for sure." As Jane spoke, Nigel ran over and said he had bought the plane ticket. The airport staff also informed the passengers heading to Horieta to get on board.

"Alright, I should be going. Mona, Maxwell, I'll leave the company in your care."Jane let go of Mona and took the suitcase in Mona's hand.

"Grandma, take good care of yourself. When you land on Horieta, don't forget to call roer Maña looked at Jane's back and felt reluctant. Meanwhile, Jane did not turn around. She waved at Mona and Maxwell, signaling them to leave. Maxwell noticed how Mona couldn't bear to part with Jane. So, he reached out to pull her into his arms and held her shoulders.

"Maxwell, I hope Grandpa will wake up soon. I have many things to tell him," Mona muttered.

"I hope so too, Mona. How about we're going to Horieta this weekend? Just for a quick visit," Maxwell comforted.

"Sounds good. It's Tuesday, and we'll only have to wait until Friday. It'll quick." As soon as Mona finished speaking, her stomach started growling. Maxwell lowered his head. Their eyes met, and Mona said in embarrassment, "I'm kinda hungry right now." "Then let's go eat." As Maxwell spoke, he held Mona's hand and turned around to leave the airport. SEND GIFT X
